"I was at peace in Burma. I had a big house, a piece of land... I didn't suffer. I don't like having to stay here (in Bangladesh). If there is more storm we are afraid. We are afraid to hear the "boom, boom" when the storm starts. It's annoying for us..."

-"My husband lives in a town far away. He married another woman".
